Zoushu said: The death scene was really strange to me. Satou covers Shouko's mouth with one of her hands, and holds the knife with the other. She is not blocking Shouko's nose, so while it's difficult for Shouko to make noise, she should still be able to breathe. If someone is pointing a knife towards your head/ throat, shouldn't your first instinct be to block it with your hands? But for some reason it seems Shouko decides trying to get rid of the hand which only stops her from making sound is a higher priority than stopping the hand which has a knife that will end her life. Sure, the arm around her was limiting her mobility, but It's not like she would get away from that position anyway, since she was lying down on the ground, and if she did the knife would still be going towards her. This scene was probably much quicker in the manga, and there probably was no way out for her even if Shouko survived a bit longer, but the way she acted really doesn't make sense to me. 1) The hand covering her mouth was also the one holding her down to keep her from getting away, and since escape was likely the only possibility that came to her mind, she would never have thought to make a counterattack. 2) She was naive enough to think Satou would never kill her because she had no idea that Satou, a cute teenage girl she thought of as a friend, had already killed several people at this point for the sake of Shio, so the shock at such a development would have been considerable. 3) We are talking about a relatively-normal high school girl with no real combat experience that was caught by surprise and forced to the ground by the person she loves, who also happens to be holding a large knife, after an intense, emotional, painful & life-changing sequence of events - the chances of her being able to act or even think rationally under those circumstances are about as close to zero as one can get. Most people would probably not fare much better under these circumstances... |

| Fuck this show, Fuck Satou. Of course the only sane character had to be killed. Until now Satou was semi-redeemable. Excluding the whole loli abduction (which I don't consider harsh, considering how her family is trash), and how He killed the owner of the house since he was about to kill Shio, Killing shoukou was so unnecessary! Satou would definitely leave this place anyways, so killing the only person on Earth who treated her kindly... why?! Satou better die a "sad", gruesome death! Fuck this shit! |
| What a great episode, as I expected. I learn to never make psycho person become good person (except they want to change), so Shouko get what she deserved. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| The second half of this episode completely broke me. Every few days, I try to convince myself that I'm ready to resume watching the anime, but then I think back to what happened in this episode, and I just can't. I totally break down. I've watched a fair amount of anime that had shocking situations, but this one hits home on so many degrees. And I relate to Satou, I really do. Well, not to the extremes of the anime, of course, but still, I do. When you have something or someone to lose, you're willing to go very far, and you may not even see how wrong it is. And of course, Satou doesn't see that, given her twisted upbringing. All she thinks about is Shio, and I've found it beautiful until this episode. Now I'm very... conflicted. Shoko was actually my favorite character, and it took her gruesome death for me to realize that. She died alone, murdered in cold blood at the hands of the person she loved. That's one of the most cruel ways to go. I was behind Satou that entire time, because I get it. You are happy. You feel true happiness. Real, genuine feelings, not powered by something like sexuality, power or other ulterior motives. Just the desire to be with that person forever and ever. Taboo or not, this is pure, in my eyes. Even though she went about it the wrong way, of course. I like Satou and I relate to her. But this episode was too much for me. I don't suddenly hate her or anything like that, because, heck, her resolve is made pretty darn clear. She may not have thought much of Shoko, but she was at the very least a constant presence in her life for years. Perhaps with some more insight, she would have seen her as a friend. It turns out I relate to Shoko, as well. Finally mustering the courage to push yourself to do something important to you. It's a very beautiful thing. When that absolutely gorgeous song played while she finally confessed everything to Satou, I felt that. To think it would be her undoing... Shoko-chan. It took her death for me to realize that she was my favorite character. |

| "Death is not the end. Being forgotten is." |
| Asahi has his suspicions right about Mr. pedo here Shouko is really living on a knife's edge here taking the risk of the photo that she just took and I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen Sataou doesn't hold back even for Shouko she just straight up murdered her I really can't believe what happened. |
  |
| Honestly I really am not surprised they killed off Shouko, she's one of the only characters in the damn anime that isn't a criminal. Though honestly, if Satou ends up dead or in a straight jacket she really did it to herself. I also still wanna know how she and Shio met and what exactly happened to the mum |
| The aunt is an interesting character but I'm surprised that Satou even told her where she was staying. I kind of got spoiled she'd die near the apartment but I'm surprised Satou killed her in such a risky place where Shio could've seen it. Satou was interesting at the beginning but Shouko and the brother ended up getting way more character development while Satou hasn't changed at all. Taiyo as well hasn't changed much for a while. I guess that's why they remain villains. Next episode I guess is gonna be Shio focused. |

| I knew the cop would come back lol. Wonder what happened to him. Good riddance to Shoko. She was tolerable up until this episode but I'm glad she's gone now. Now all that's left is that damn brother. |
